Collaborations with other organisations

(0)

Recognising that of collaboration and the exchange of views can significantly help improve our social and environmental contribution and the development of responsible practices in the business community in general, we focus on sharing our experience with our business and social partners.

In line with the above:

Through PROTERGIA S.A., we take an active part in public consultations on specific Bills and on draft decisions and regulations on major public policy issues in the energy sector, such as:

(a) The promotion of RES investments in Greece, which is a contractual obligation of the country in line with the EU target of a RES penetration of 20% in final electricity consumption by 2020.

(b) The liberalisation of the domestic electricity market, which is expected to result in significant benefits for the national economy, the environment and consumers.

With our participation in the above initiatives:

- We support the promotion of RES investments in Greece, through our participation in the Greek Association of RES Electricity Producers (GAREP) and in the Hellenic Wind Energy Association (HWEA).

- We promote the liberalisation of the domestic electricity market, by participating in the Hellenic Association of Independent Power Producers (HAIPP). Additionally, as members of the Institute of Energy for Southeast Europe (IENE), we also contribute to the development of positions and recommendations and to lobbying on energy-related issues in the wider region of SE Europe.

In addition to the above initiatives, we also participate in the following organizations, with which we collaborate closely:

The Hellenic Federation of Enterprises (SEV), in whose “Council for Sustainable Development” our Company was an active member and whose Code of Principles it has fully endorsed and adopted.

The Greek Mining Enterprises Association (SME), whose Code of Principles on Sustainable Development our Company has endorsed and adopted.

The Hellenic Institute of Entrepreneurship & Sustainable Development (IEA).
